La Vieille Poire® : an exceptional aged Poire Williams eau-de-vie, uniquely aged in oak casks
What makes La Vieille Poire® unique is its rare and distinctive profile: a Poire Williams eau-de-vie aged in oak casks within the cellars of our family-owned distillery. This maturation gives the spirit its remarkable amber color, a characteristic seldom found in traditional Poire Williams eaux-de-vie.
La Vieille Poire® has been awarded an outstanding 96/100 and Double Gold at the prestigious Gilbert & Gaillard Tasting, confirming its status as a truly exceptional eau-de-vie.
La Vieille Poire® is crafted exclusively from carefully selected Williams pears, chosen for their intense and expressive aromatic potential. After fermentation, the pears are distilled in traditional copper pot stills. Our cellar master then meticulously selects the very best of the heart of the distillation, which is slowly aged until it reaches perfect maturity. The result is a refined digestif, delicately amber colored, enhanced by subtle, elegant woody notes.
Highly appreciated for its perfect balance between power and smoothness, La Vieille Poire® delights connoisseurs with its exceptional aromatic richness and depth on the palate. It offers remarkable olfactory finesse, followed by a long, harmonious finish that reflects both the fruit and the gentle influence of oak aging.
For optimal enjoyment, La Vieille Poire® is best tasted at room temperature. Allowing the glass to rest in the palm of the hand enables the aromas to fully unfold, revealing the full complexity and elegance of this rare aged pear eau-de-vie.
